[A Deserter of
Royalton Arrested
The first draft delinquent to be arrested in Morrison county is at Fort
Snelling today to explain to the com-
mahding officer, if he can, why he
should not face court martial as a deserter from the military service of i
the United States.
Didn't Respond to Notices
The man is Sylvester Kaiser, who
lives east of Royalton. He failed to
appear when summoned by the local
board of physical, examination and,
according to the board, paid no attention to notices. The board has been
informed that he told two men that
_e did not intend to come in and that
d they wanted him they could come
and get him.
May Be Court Martialed
Deputy Sheriff Joe Newman of
Royalton arrested Kaiser -Sunday and
brought him to Little Falls. Sheriff
Paul Felix took him to Fort Snelling
early this morning under arrest and
«rill turn him over to th --military authorities. Kaiser will probably be
given a chance to explain why he did,
aot appear. If his desertion does not
appear to be willful he will probably
be sent to Camp Dodge, but if the officer- think he was purposely delinquent lie will have to face >a court
partial, as he has been certified as
drafted and is in the military service
of.the United States.
Others to Be Arrested
There are a number of delinquents
in Morrison county and the local
board will round them up as rapidly
as possible and send them to Fort
Snelling. A standing reward of $50
is offered for their arrest and the officers who arrested Kaiser are
titled to the reward.

He says further that since the

dozens of applications for licenses by
companies or organizations, whose
only purpose is apparently to "get
rich quick."
"Our difficulties are not with legitimate enterprises of which there are
hundreds operating in Minnesota,"
says Mr. Schultz, "but the glib promoter with an alleged mine somewhere cr a fine gushing oil field is
the bane of the commission."
Since the law went into operation,
however, these irresponsible organizations have 'begun to realize that Minnesota investors are to be protected
against such schemes.

Producers' Bulletin No.
(Prepared by the Markets
of the State Food committee
Public Safety commission.)
The demand for potatoes
:ots during the past week has been
disappointing. The weather has been
too fine to develop any buying activity for winter storage. -Thus the outlet for the present large crop is now
confined to the amount required for
immediate use. Home values "have
ruled weak and in some sections of
the state have gone as low as 65
cents per bushel, field run. Toward
the close of the past week, carlots
in the territory of the Twin cities
have sold at a range of from 90 cent,
to $1 per bushel. These prices apply
to lots in sacks.
The market is also comparatively
slow at Chicago and prices are ruling
around ?1. Michigan growers are
practically in control of this market
and are willing to shade Minnesota
prices 5 or 10 cents per bushel at any
time iri order to effect a sale. This
is a big handicap to those seeking an
outlet for the Minnesota crop and
c-hould be seriously considered by
growers.
The onion market is higher than
last week. Fancy stock will probably
command even, 'better figures in the
near future than are now ruling. Al
■present the price is around $2.20 per

That Amount of Second Liberty
Loan Apportioned to Worth-
western States.
Amounts Assigned to Each District
Are Computed o_ Percentage
Basis, Considering Territory's Resources.
Washington, Oct. 1.—By the announcement of treasury department officials opportioning the forthcoi %
bond issue byv districts, the Ninth federal reserve district, whc_e final I
center is Minneapolis, is expected to
subscribe 5125,000,000 to the second
Liberty loan.
The.campaign to float the gigautic
lean of $3,000,000,000 will begin tomorrow. Virtually two-thirds of the loan
is expected to be raised in tho New
York, Boston, Cleveland and Chicago
districts, with only half apportioned
to the first three-named districts.
Apportionments indicate only what
each district is expected to do ancl may^
be entirely upset, as in the case of the!
first Liberty loan, by the actual su_-|
seriptions. In making the apportion-!
ments, officials used two bases of sub-j
seriptions, the minimum of $-,000,000,-!
000, and an "expected amount" of;
$5,000,000,000.

In each case the announcement;
reads, "the amount has been compute
ed on the percentage basis, and while
the banking resources of each district
—that is, the total resources of the
national banks, state banks and trust
companies—have been given large
consideration, other factors have been
taken into account,, such as the income tax collected from each district,
the assessed value of property therein,
the subscriptions received from each
district to the first Liberty loan, and
the amount sf bonds allotted on such
subscriptions, the cr. pital available
for bond investment in each district
and its population."
Governors of the ' federal reserve
banks have been notified by Secretary
McAdoo of the apportionments. Tha
sums stated in the "expected amount"
column are designated as "the amount
which each district should subscribe
ia order to secure the result imperatively demanded for the defense and
security of the nation."

[A Deserter of
Royalton Arrested
The first draft delinquent to be arrested in Morrison county is at Fort
Snelling today to explain to the com-
mahding officer, if he can, why he
should not face court martial as a deserter from the military service of i
the United States.
Didn't Respond to Notices
The man is Sylvester Kaiser, who
lives east of Royalton. He failed to
appear when summoned by the local
board of physical, examination and,
according to the board, paid no attention to notices. The board has been
informed that he told two men that
_e did not intend to come in and that
d they wanted him they could come
and get him.
May Be Court Martialed
Deputy Sheriff Joe Newman of
Royalton arrested Kaiser -Sunday and
brought him to Little Falls. Sheriff
Paul Felix took him to Fort Snelling
early this morning under arrest and
«rill turn him over to th --military authorities. Kaiser will probably be
given a chance to explain why he did,
aot appear. If his desertion does not
appear to be willful he will probably
be sent to Camp Dodge, but if the officer- think he was purposely delinquent lie will have to face >a court
partial, as he has been certified as
drafted and is in the military service
of.the United States.
Others to Be Arrested
There are a number of delinquents
in Morrison county and the local
board will round them up as rapidly
as possible and send them to Fort
Snelling. A standing reward of $50
is offered for their arrest and the officers who arrested Kaiser are
titled to the reward.
